Charge is placed on two conducting spheres that are very far apart and connected by a long thin wire. The radius of the smaller

sphere is 5 cm and that of the larger sphere is 12 cm. The electric field at the surface of the larger sphere is 660 kV/m. Find the surface charge density on each sphere.

Answer:

surface charge density on each sphere is 440 \times 10^{-9} C

Explanation:

given data

radius of smaller sphere = 5 cm

radius of  larger sphere is 12 cm

electric field at surface of larger sphere = 660 kV/m = 660 × 1000 v/m

solution

we apply here electric field formula that is express as

E = (\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon  })\times  (\frac{Q_{1} }{R^{2} } )    .................1

put here value

660000 = 9 \times 10^9 \times \frac{Q1}{0.12^2}  

Q1 = 1056 × 10^{-9}

and

here field inside a conductor is zero so that electric potential ( V ) is constant

\frac{Q{1} }{R} = \frac{Q{2} }{r}   ..................2

so Q2 will be

Q2 =  \frac{5}{12} \times 1056 \times 10^{-9}  

Q2 =  440 \times 10^{-9}  C

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?
kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

To develop muscle tone, a woman lifts a 2.50 kg weight held in her hand. She uses her biceps muscle to flex the lower arm throug
Romashka [77]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

\tau = Fr

Where,

F = Force

r = Radius

Replacing we have that,

\tau = Fr

\tau = 21cm (\frac{1m}{100cm})* 550N

\tau = 11.55Nm

The moment of inertia is given by 2.5kg of the weight in hand by the distance squared to the joint of the body of 24 cm, therefore

I = 0.25Kg\cdot m^2 +(2.5kg)(0.24m)^2

I = 0.394kg\cdot m^2

Finally, angular acceleration is a result of the expression of torque by inertia, therefore

\tau = I\alpha \rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\tau}{I}

\alpha = \frac{11.55}{0.394}

\alpha = 29.3 rad/s^2

PART B)

The work done is equivalent to the torque applied by the distance traveled by 60 °° in radians (\pi / 3), therefore

W = \tau \theta

W = 11.5* \frac{\pi}{3}

W = 12.09J
